Assessment and Verification

All units within this DiT course are internally assessed by our qualified assessors and externally verified by the awarding organisation in line with the Education and Training Foundation’s framework for teaching in further education.

Learners will be assessed through a portfolio of evidence which will consist of a written assignment along with a record of the teaching practice log, a record of a minimum of 10 observations (45 minutes each) and samples of work.

The practical requirements of this course include a total of 250 hours which includes 150 hours of logged teaching practice at two different locations and 100 hours in the subject area specifically.

Finally, learners will participate in a final assessment involving a 30-minute professional discussion relating to any aspect of professional practice conducted with two qualified teachers/assessors, one from Britannia School of Academics and one from their placement.
